ID: 83744 • Letter: Q

Question

Question 60

The energy source that is presently used the most for transportation in the United States is

hydroelectric generators.

solar energy.

imported oil.

nuclear energy.

coal.

Question 61

What is the major advantage of sex?

because it s the fastest way to reproduce

because it leads to babies

because it s fun

because it produces genetic variation among offspring which aids in survival

because humans are inherently bad

Question 62

Stabilizing selection involves the processes in which

an intermediate phenotype is favored

gene flow is eliminated

simultaneous bottlenecks have eliminated any phenotypic variation

the mutation rate is extremely low

None of these are correct

Question 63

The Allee Effect describes a phenomenon where a fish population will go extinct even if fishing pressure is lifted.

True

False

Question 64

Which of the following describes resource partitioning?

A climax community is reached when no new niches are available.

Competitive exclusion results in the success of the superior species.

Two species can co-evolve to share the same niche.

Slight variations in niche allow similar species to coexist.

Differential resource utilization results in the decrease in species diversity.

Question 65

Which one of the following statements about the consequences of global warming is FALSE?

Global warming will cause an increase in the incidence of diseases caused by mosquitoes.

Rising sea levels will be a consequence of global warming.

The frequency of El Niño events may increase as a consequence of global warming.

The rate of global warming may be too great for populations to be able to adapt through natural selection.

Since most crop plants grow better at higher temperature and CO2 concentrations, the effect of global warming on agriculture is likely to be positive.

Question 66

The organization that oversees the ethical treatment of animals in entertainment in the United States is the:

American Humane Society

Animals Rights Society

American Broney Club

US Department of Ethics

Association of Animals in Entertainment

Question 67

Addition of a primary carnivore to an ecosystem can sometimes influence the whole ecosystem. This process is called

disruption.

species turnover.

a top-down effect.

a trophic cascade.

a bottom-up effect.

Question 68

The most successful animal group ever to live on Earth (most numerous and most diverse in terms of species) is the

humans.

reptiles.

vertebrates.

insects.

sponges.

Question 69

An unusual characteristic of exponential growth is that it can continue indefinitely.

True

False

hydroelectric generators.

solar energy.

imported oil.

nuclear energy.

coal.
